Rhodococcus species have been discovered in diverse environmental niches and can degrade numerous recalcitrant toxic pollutants. However, the pollutant degradation efficiency of these strains is severely reduced due to the complexity of environmental conditions and limitations in the growth of the pollutant-degrading microorganism. In our study,Bacillus cereus strain MLY1 exhibited strong stress resistance to adapt to various environments and improved the THF degradation efficiency ofRhodococcus ruber YYL by a metabolic cross-feeding interaction style to relieve the pH stress. These findings suggest that metabolite cross-feeding occurred in a complementary manner, allowing a pollutant-degrading strain to collaborate with a nondegrading strain in the biodegradation of various recalcitrant compounds. The study of metabolic exchanges is crucial to elucidate mechanisms by which degrading and symbiotic bacteria interact to survive environmental stress.
